Editorial Reviews for Dr. McDougall's Digestive Tune-Up
|
|
Thousands of people will be able to benefit from the medical advice found in Dr. McDougall's Digestive Tune-Up. This life-changing information shows how to heal intestinal illnesses through a noninvasive approach of diet and lifestyle changes. According to Dr. McDougall, constipation, hemorrhoids, ulcers, IBS, and colitis are a few of the chronic digestive disorders that can be prevented and cured by eating a low-fat, cholesterol-free, plant-based diet. The reasons for this become apparent through a series of "office visits" by two fictitious, middle-aged patients who seek medical intervention in order to regain their health. Through these "visits" readers learn: • how their digestive system works • to identify the root causes of intestinal discomfort • why "friendly" bacteria are necessary for overall health • how to take control of the healing process • how to avoid surgical procedures & expensive medications This book covers topics that are often taboo in common conversation with a candid, often humorous look. Easy to understand, the information covered will enable everyone to make more informed medical decisions and wiser dietary choices.

Summary: Ho hum; he can do better
Comment: I'm a fan of Dr. McDougall's because of his sincere and energetic efforts to help the public understand the importance of good nutrition. He has written and spoken of all the ideas presented in this book, and usually in far more compelling ways. This is a very boring, too-basic book. Skip it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent guide to digestion
Comment: Perfect laymans guide to understanding the digestive tract from top to bottom. Along the way Dr. McDougall explains what can happen to cause various malfunctions of the digestive system. Must reading for anyone wanting to enjoy optimum health.

Summary: American? I don't think so.
Comment: The review before me says this book is very AMERICAN. I think all of McDougall's books are anything BUT american. The american diet is our problem to begin with. I had (notice past tense) severe JRA and had been on medications. While pregnant with my son i was in remission and thought this state would stick around afterwards. Didn't happen. I flared horribly 6 weeks after his birth and could hardly hold him. i was afraid I would drop him or be unable to care for him without medication. A friend gave me his book and I have yet to be on medication again. My son is 12 months now! It isn't an easy plan to do because our society is not set up for this type of eating. So, eating out is rare for us, but my results are beyond appreciation for his research. I have no doubt that God sent us this program. My husband and I are healthier than we have ever been in our lives and we were pretty healthy people to begin with. My husband did the program with me as support and he has seen his allergies go away as well!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not worth the paper it's written on
Comment: (a) very, very American
(b) very sugary writing, almost patronising
(c) weak on facts and evidence
(d) no help whatsoever except as a grade 1 introduction
Customer Rating:
Summary: Common sense
Comment: If you are a fan of Dr.McDougall, you will know that he recommends a plant based diet to cure disease. He explains in great detail along with humorous cartoons to get the message across as to what causes constipation, diverticulits, colitis and so much more. Eat your plants and you won't end up like the cartoon characters, overweight and miserable.
I would also like to add that the more natural your diet is, the better for you and you feel fantastic. If you feel that eating a plant-based diet is a horrible thing to do, then you aren't creative. You don't just put veggies on your plate..you create wonderful and delicious recipes. There are so many sites online to find great vegan and raw recipes.
I recommend getting a powerful blender and a food processor. With those two gadgets you can make delicious soups, smoothies, sauces, ice cream, pudding, and so much more. You will never miss your old way of eating, and you will stay regular, your skin will clear up, and you will have more energy than ever before. Guaranteed.
